[bandwraith at aol.com]

Then why do people, including intelligent economists and politicians, ignore these realities despite understanding them?

> The problem with economists in general is that they do not understand
 reality- global warming, the second law of thermodynamics, toxicology, peak
 oil, etc., which is to say, their initial assumptions are invalid. This is
 not the case with Ayres.
Global warning is something most grade school kids now understand. And
he rest of these are easy enough for any intelligent and educated
erson to understand.  Therre is no real problem with economists. It's
ifficult for economists to convince people who see everything through
 limited political lens that there isn't a problem with everything
nd everybody else who won't limit their own view to what the limited
ens allows one to see.
